Facial Wrinkles
Aging skin is capable of drooping and causing wrinkles, furrows and lines over time. The severity of the changes that an individual experiences can depend on many things including skin phototype, genetic tendency and exposure to a number of different environmental factors. Facial Wrinkles are the common cause of people turning to anti aging skin care solutions. The aging process is not the only thing responsible for causing facial wrinkles, as we can also be negatively affected by the environment, environmental pollution, too much frowning or too much smiling, sunlight exposure in excess and even the act of smoking. There are a number of different processes in our every day lives that are capable of resulting in lines and facial wrinkles.
Dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and other experts in skin care often classify facial wrinkles as mild, moderate, advanced and severe. Mild cases are few wrinkles, moderate wrinkles are early facial wrinkles, advanced wrinkles are characterized as persistent wrinkling and severe wrinkling involves furrows and deeper wrinkling. There is a Fitzpatrick classification for facial lines that refers to the exact degree of wrinkling when it comes to the mouth and the eyes. Class I is defined as fine wrinkles, Class II is defined as up to moderately deep wrinkles, Class III is characterized as deeper wrinkles or numerous lines as well as redundant folds.
Are you wondering how facial wrinkles and facial lines are formed?
Facial lines and facial wrinkles or rhytides are formed as a result of a number of different factors, including but not limited to damage from the sun, the aging process, movement of the muscles on a excessive basis such as through frequent smiling or frequent frowning, injury to the face, as a result of gravity, as a result of surgery, as a result of acne, as a result of excessive or long term smoking, because of skin diseases that cause scarring such as discoid lupus, and a number of other causes and factors as well.
There often tends to be a degree of asymmetry when it comes to the lines and wrinkles as a result of aging, because people tend to smile more on one side or frown more on one side than the other.
What are fine lines?
Fine lines are small wrinkles that come about as a result of the irregular thickening of the skin or the dermis, and because the amount of water that is held by the outer layers of the skin or the epidermis can be decreased with age. These things are typically caused primarily by damage caused by exposure to the sun as well as exposure to environmental toxins like tobacco smoke for example. Deeper lines and skin furrows are often classified as being either dynamic or static in nature. Dynamic lines are those that appear as a result of movement, and static lines are unchanged based on muscle movement. Dynamic lines eventually always become static ones.
